There is gtkdialog in /usr/bin which is a symlink to gtkdialog4 in /usr/bin AND there is gtkdialog in /usr/sbin which is a symlink to gtkdialog3 in /usr/sbin

Console reports version number as 0.8.3

Zigbert's latest pMusic and pBurn require a more recent gtkdialog which is numbered 0.8.4r514

Would it be OK to just have this latest gtkdialog as a file in either /usr/bin or /usr/sbin and have gtkdialog3 and gtkdialog4 as symlinks to that file or are there programs in Puppy which might still need the older gtkdialog (as gtkdialog3 or gtkdialog4)?

Also, do these files need to be in both locations (/usr/bin and /usr/sbin) and if so could they be symlinks from one to the other so everything just points to one real file?_________________Oscar in England

NOTE:- Precise Puppy has libav in place of ffmpeg
substitution is not recommended
pMusic is mainly developed on ffmpeg
some issues may arise because of this
but hopefully they will be minor.
I guess it is just a case of keeping a watchful eye
and report any issues to zigbert

I have noticed one small bug with disk drives icons. I have USB-flash which is formated to have two partitions (by BootFlash, USB-ZIP mode). Precise-5.7.1 (and Slacko-5.5.71) show only first partition when flash is hot-plugged and both partitions when flash is present at the boot time. It's Ok in Precise-5.4.2. I know, there were some changes in disk drives icons scripts.

I'm getting a kernel panic at the switch root stage on the K6-2 500 with Precise Puppy 5.7.1. Explicitly chose pfix=ram boot. I have checked md5sum for iso, successfully booted from the disc on another PC and copied the files off the disc successfully. Probably incompatibility with the CPU, which is odd given the release notes say it should be i486 compatible (K6-2 500 is i586). See attached photo for debug info.

PROBLEM!
Since applying the changes above...
Each of "SaveMyModem" [smm], and Thunderbird, are unable to fetch from my POP3 server.
I'll try rebooting without saving the changes, and see if that returns things to their previous working state.

That worked!
Things now back to their previous [working/functional] state.

Actually...
What I'd done in full was:
1. Previously used a 2nd Puppy to delete the new pupsave, and restore the old pupsave.
That fixed the problem.
Then...

2. Once again installed the various PET's as above.
That re-created the problem.
Then...

3. Re-booted without any save of the session changes.
That eliminated the problem.

Regarding the dependencies, I was looking mainly at the dependency check in the "help" menus of pMusic and pBurn. On my machine if I run the Puppy dependency checker I only get core-utils reported as missing. I wonder if you have other programs installed which are generating the other missing dependencies you are seeing?

I need to ask zigbert about this, but the core-utils missing dependency report happens because "+core-utils," is listed as a dependency in the pet.specs file in the pBurn .pet and I may be completely wrong about this but I thought I read somewhere that busybox provides the core-utils files in Puppy which means that no package named core-utils is installed. Anyway, if I expand the .pet and remove the "+core-utils," from the pet.specs file the dependency checker (obviously) no longer reports it as missing. Hopefully zigbert can confirm that all the needed files for pBurn are actually present.

LATER :- Just looking at installed packages it seems we do have coreutils (without the dash) but not core-utils so maybe I am wrong about busybox, perhaps it is just that the name in the pet.specs file just needs the dash removed.

As for the other problem, it is difficult for me to try to reproduce it because I have never used POP3 or the programs you mentioned. Perhaps you can confirm by elimination that it is the cdrtools-3 package that is causing the problem? I did have concerns about it because it is overwriting existing files from the old packages (of cdrkit, I think?). If it is this package that is causing the problem there are a couple of ideas I could try, but after that I may need to leave this task to someone with more experience than me._________________Oscar in England
